Analysis
Burundi recorded 3,080 kt for afolu — emissions in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 273.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, afolu — emissions in Burundi peaked at 5,254 kt in 1999 and was at its lowest, -1,777 kt, in 2013.
That places Burundi 76th out of 257 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
